Moreover, according to the similarity of birds’ head recognition, the app connects to Wikipedia and informs you what sort of bird you have encountered and where it originated.

- Birdhouse Spy Cam Hawk Eye HD Camera
This device can be used as a bird feeder camera or to monitor the progress of nesting birds inside your birdhouse. This camera works best in larger birdhouses like those used for baby owls and ducks because the camera focuses better at a range of at least a foot or so away from the birds.
The camera comes with 100’ of cable so you can watch from quite a distance away. The 10 LED lights produce only infrared light that birds can’t see, so you don’t have to worry about disturbing your feathered friends in the nest box.
This camera can be plugged into your TV for live viewing or viewed and recorded on your computer. You will love watching the eggs hatch and the chicks develop in your nest box with the hawkeye birdhouse spycam.
> Pros:
Has night vision

- GoPro HERO9 Black Waterproof Action Camera
For those birdwatchers who arent afraid to use (or learn to use) more complicated gadgets, GoPro cameras are about the best option available. These tiny cameras are so versatile, and capture such great images and footage, that bird feeder photography could soon become a full-on hobby of yours.
You can set your GoPro up in any way you like but a small tripod often comes in handy around birdbaths and feeders. These bird feeder cameras can be used for live streaming or to record pictures and video.
> Pros:
Super-versatile
Amazing quality images and videos
Many upgrades and modifications are available
> Cons:
Might require additional equipment

These little recorders make great wireless bird-feeder cameras. They alert you when motion is detected on the camera so that you can watch your bird feeders or nest boxes live from wherever you are. These cameras are built for the outdoors, so they’ll work great no matter the conditions.
These cameras can be used to store recordings on the cloud (subscription required), or you can opt to store data on the supplied sync module. You will need a USB flash drive to access the data stored on the sync module, however.

- BlazeVideo WiFi Trail Camera
With this model, you can preview live recordings using an app on your phone. The night vision function is great for recording nocturnal creatures like owls because the infra-red lamps do not disturb their natural activities.
Although they are not designed for monitoring bird feeders, I’ve managed to capture great images and videos of all sorts of birds and wildlife with this kind of motion-activated camera. Setting these cameras up on a tripod makes getting the right shot a lot easier.
There is one secret to success with this kind of camera, however. Whether there is a bird at the feeder or not, these cameras will record movement so a swinging bird feeder on a windy day or swaying branches in the background will result in a whole lot of bird-less footage. To prevent this, set your bird feeders on a stable pole system.
> Pros:
Easy to use
Captures great footage automatically
> Cons:
Bulky size
Features:
Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity
Water and dust-proof
Ultra-fast 0.2s delay

The photo quality is 16 megapixels and the video quality is 1080P. This ensures that you get nice, clear photos while the camera is recording. Plus, it has a lightning-fast trigger speed of 0.4 seconds.
This means you won’t miss a second of recording when there’s lots of activity around your feeder. The camera is also equipped to shoot at night with low glow LEDs. This allows you to check whether any other animals are visiting your feeders while the hummingbirds are asleep.

16mp photo quality & 1080P video quality
Time-lapse function
Inbuilt timer
Continuous shooting function

- Birdhouse Spy Cam Hawk Eye High Definition Camera
This tiny spy cam measures only 1.75 inches x 1.75 inches x 1 inch. Therefore, it’s super easy to conceal very near your bird feeders. It has an in-built microphone so you can capture sound as well as movement.
It comes with two 50-foot detachable power cables so that you can plug them directly into your TV or computer. If you have a home security monitor, it may plug into that as well. That way you can record the activity and watch the playback.
The night vision on this camera is excellent as it uses 10 infrared LEDs. And don’t worry, the infrared won’t disturb the birds because they can’t actually see it.
